@surevive said: Nostrils flare at the scent. Perhaps the other didn't know he had a cut somewhere, a fortuitous break in the skin able to bless him with such an aroma. He didn't realize just how hungry he was until now.

Little cuts and scrapes rarely ever registered on his personal radar anymore-- though absently catching his arm on something sharp enough to draw blood was probably a few rungs above your average cuts and scrapes. He was more focused on other things... including the strange look on the other's face, once he notices it, brows knitting in the center of his forehead. Why was he...

Reaching up, he brushed a hand over Vash's cheek. Something gentle, with a certain fondness he only ever showed towards him or their sisters. No one else ever received such a courtesy.

"Good," he spoke softly, "Then we can continue forward, together. Fighting for our paradise." Though, there were humans who wished to stop them. Those who had been privy to Vash before he rejoined him, and those dogs within his own ranks that had wavering loyalty.

@surevive:

The desert air was calm, still, hanging over them like a heavy blanket. It kept them standing in one spot in a languid embrace with slow caresses and lazy kisses. If Nai wasn't there for him to drape himself over Vash would no doubt be on the floor as his head swam and stars burst behind closed eyelids. It wasn't until after he licked past his brother's lips for the nth time that he felt the hold around him grow tighter. He uttered a muffled MMM into Nai's mouth as fingers gripped his hips and his eyes perked open upon feeling his back hit a wall. It made him bite down on those lips he was so tenderly tasting a moment ago. But he gripped back with an unapologetic "sorry" as he flicked his tongue against that reddened spot and wrapped a leg around his waist.

There aren't any pressing responsibilities to stress over for now, even though he's certain that Doctor Conrad would have something to complain about.

He'd grabbed onto Vash's wrist and took off running, like they were kids again- Laughing the whole way. It wasn't like he necessarily cared if anyone saw them, but that jealous and possessive side of his personality did prefer they had some privacy.

It felt like they had all the time in the world to just kiss, leaning into each other's space to share the air and taste of each other's lips. The subtle patterns glowing faintly along their skin seemed to resonate- Gently pulsing in time with the rising tempo of their heartbeats.

The bite didn't deter Knives at all, pulling back slightly to shake his head and smirk.

"I don't think I'm about to die, it's just a little blood-" he trailed off, humming against Vash's eager mouth and yanking the other blonde off his feet- Pinning him between the front of his torso and the wall.

He wanted to understand. He wanted so, so badly just to understand what the difference was. If there was more than one. Between his own selves or Nai's or-- Anyone in their lives. Was it a major change? A dozen smaller things? Luck or fate, nature or nurture, science or--

And yet he was almost afraid of the possibility that there wasn't much of a difference at all, really. Uncomfortable. One minor moment, one little turn left instead of right.

Poor, poor creature. The independent did not want to see his other self below him either, in the end they were both plants and the same person, but with totally different paths. Vash, in this case the insane one, the one who was capable of killing people without remorse, wanted to be kind.

For once, for seeing him so delicate.

He looked delicate too, but it was more of a disguise. Going nearly naked was never a problem for the fake angel, the more he could embrace his plant form, the better. Even though he had his scars too, he gave more importance to the ones on his mirror.

After letting his delicate fingers run over the scars on his reflection, he blinked in surprise to see him cry and hold his arm.

So soft, so... adorable. Ah, he was capable of falling for his own charms too, eh?
